Homebrew HiyaCFW Discussion

I installed Hiya before it was officially released

Me too!

 

[Johntendo]

Me too!

I installed it the other day, when I found out via the discord chat.

Do you guys know how to install dsiware or srloader on HiyaCFW?

srloader or any other tia file can be installed through twlit
as for dsiware: https://dsiguide.me/dsiware-installation

How? I googled twlit, no luck.
also, I tried with TWLnf and I got "don't know how to handle this file" error with .tia files.
any ideas?

 

[Mii_Maker]

Also, I can't find TWLit on The Discord group.

You guys can start requesting to be added to the site if you like - I'm trying to rewrite it to have a database and I have to learn a lot of stuff (spring boot, JPA, and mysql). I should get it finished tomorrow. If I didn't have to learn then it probably would have only taken a few hours!

Spoiler

It previously just had an array of everyone's names and was hardcoded to add people to the array when it restarted. So the way I had it before won't work, because it gets restarted like one a day so if I try to add people to the array while the site is running it will just forget them when it restarts itself - and I was hoping to delegate responsibility to someone else to add people so I can't be hard coding it. A database means it won't forget when it is restarted. Hope that made sense.

will there be a round 2 for non-US people?

Yes, we will be doing a Round 2 for people outside the United States.

 

[CatmanFan]

Yes, we will be doing a Round 2 for people outside the United States.

Don't forget: practically anyone with a United States region DSi could do this easily (e.g. someone from Canada, Mexico, Chile, Brazil, or Argentina).

Yes, but we don't want to leave everybody else out.

You don't need twlnf for DSiWare installation anymore, you just have to copy the .app and the .tmd to the right folder in your SD card and you're good to go

You don't even need to create a ticket for it

What is this folder?

I completely lost with these .tia's and folders. I just want to copy some dsiware, but there is no clear guide how to do this!

Are you sure? I'm having trouble installing DSiWare as well; I dump the DSiWare from my 3DS, delete the cmd folder and the ctx file, and copy the proper TMD from the TMD preservation 7Z file, renaming it to title.tmd. I copy the folder ("4b513945" for example -- that's LOZ: Four Swords) to SD:/title/00030004/, but when I start the DSi again, the app does not appear on the home menu, and the folder is deleted from the SD card automatically. I would follow the "Dumping DSiWare from 3DS" guide, except it's not finished yet.

You need to create "content" and "data" folders in the "4b513945" folder. Place the APP and TMD in the "content" folder and the save file in the "data" folder.

Yes, GodMode9 generated those folders when I dumped the DSiWare from my 3DS; I didn't remove them during the transfer. I guess I should have mentioned that in my post.

You can mark the game and tmd as read-only, which seemed to work for me.

 

[brunocar]

sorry to be bothersome, guys, but im confused, whats the whole process of converting a CIA to a DSi compatible backup?

I did that, and now the game folder doesn't get deleted from the SD card, but it still doesn't show up on the home menu.
